D alien,
the analyzer you showed is a 3d analyzer with frequency range, amplitude range and a time range. Most analyzers are without the time dimension representation....

sure Elemental. We've mentioned it already. I have it too. is just magnificent but anyway.. its image (3d) representation of the sound is not acurate. The pic Colin gave us looks very good. People, anyway I speak abouat just one type of Analisis. The image one (3d, with color spectrum representation). Anything else is just fine, but not my question...
Untill now We have
EAC - Image (3d) spectrum analisis (stand alone program)
SpectraLab - Image (3d) spectrum analisis, but I'm afraid its just in RTAS format... no vst.. 
Elemental IXL Pack - It has an Image Spectral analisis but its quality is poor and not acurate enough (speaking just for the image one, dont get me wrong. all other spectrum analizers from Elemental are Magnificent)
Soundforge - Image spectrum analisis (very poor and inacurate)...
Why am I so crazy about the image representation of the sound, cuz apart to see the gain of every freq one can apreciate much more, how a phazer acts over a sound, or a lfanger or a reverb. no other spectrum analisis can represent us this. For exapmple. If u have 3 same samples. One u play without any effect, the second with a phaser, the third with flanger. With multiband analizer u wont see diference, with curve analizer..hmm maybe small one, but with the image one (3d)!!!!! Another Story... 
later will post an example...

Do you think it's better to have a spectrum analyser hardware? I know these are very expensive! At my work, we have a lot of them (accurate and precise) and EXPENSIVE!
Is Marantz Hi-Fi spectrum analyser good? |

so, here I'm posting a simple example
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/d-alien/spectrum-test.jpg
4examples of the same 10sec sample from a wav track.
first is the original image, than the same with flange all over it, than phaser, and than some ring modulation filter. So, you see that with a multiband analizer one cannot see the diference between the phaser and flanger... but on th image they are so obviously Diferent. Thats why I'm asking for other spectrum analizers.. but Image one. where one can see much more than gain-freq meters... even if there are hundreds of them... Spectral Image is another thing. One can see how the Music Paints!!!

If you want to use a spectrum analyser (and many people get fantastic results without them) and have access to a hardware unit, this is almost certainly the way to go IMO. FFT analysis is relatively CPU-intensive, and personally i want to use my computer for making sounds rather than painting pretty pictures, so I run SpectraLab on a laptop next to my main music machine. SpectraLab isn't a plugin but a stand-alone application. The Marantz is a useful complement to it, and gives a good idea of the density of sound in the various frequency areas. It's far from an accurate tool though. 
BTW Spindrift probably uses his 'ears'... remember them?
